Prompts

Language Origin: Enchiridian — a compound of “fair” and “hull”, originally named for their first fleet of egalitarian trade ships.
Industry: Civil engineering, housing development, and public infrastructure. They build roads, ports, bridges, aqueducts, and affordable worker housing — for a price.
Reputation: Champions of the working class. Fairhull builds what others won’t, and every city bears their stamp. They claim to be "Builders of the Dawn."
Modern Sins: Their low-cost housing has egregious magical shortcuts, causing structural failures and magical sink-holes. They often secure public contracts through quiet bribes and exploit subsidized projects for private gain. Known for using predatory lease contracts that trap workers in debt cycles.
Current Head: Merran Fairhull, a former architect turned industrial tycoon. She gives speeches about “rising together” while her accountants ensure tenants can never truly own what they live in.
